Acquisitions

In April 2013, we acquired Florida-based Zeno Office Solutions, Inc. (Zeno), one of the Southeast's largest and fastest growing providers of print and IT solutions to small and mid-sized businesses, for approximately $59 in cash. This acquisition furthers our coverage in Florida, building on our strategy of expanding our network of locally-based companies focused on customers' requirements to improve their performance through efficiencies.

In February 2013, we acquired Impika, a leader in the design, manufacture and sale of production inkjet printing solutions used for industrial, commercial, security, label and package printing, for approximately $53 in cash. Impika, which is based in Aubagne, France, offers a portfolio of aqueous (water-based) inkjet presses based on proprietary technology. Through the addition of Impika's aqueous technology to our offerings, we expect to go to market with the industry's broadest range of digital presses, strengthening our leadership in digital color production printing.

Zeno and Impika are included in our Document Technology segment. Additionally, our Document Technology segment acquired one business for approximately $11 in cash and our Services segment acquired three businesses for a total of $31 in cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The operating results of these acquisitions are not material to our financial statements and are included within our results from the respective acquisition dates. The purchase prices were allocated primarily to intangible assets and goodwill based on third-party valuations and management’s estimates.
